Question

describing barriers to physical activity
mario has missed a few workouts, after deciding to go out and have fun with his friends instead of following his physical fitness plan. what internal barriers does mario seem to be suffering from?
□ having low self esteem and/or body shame
□ struggling to have self - discipline
□ lacking the knowledge about how to exercising correctly
□ having lack of safe spaces for exercise
□ feeling like physical fitness is a hard choice to make

Explanation:

Internal barriers to physical activity are personal factors. Mario missed workouts to have fun with friends, showing difficulty in self - discipline (controlling one's actions to follow a plan). “having low self - esteem and/or body shame” relates to body image/self - perception but not directly to missing workouts for fun. “lacking knowledge about exercising” is about information, not choice of fun over workouts. “having lack of safe spaces” is an external barrier. “feeling like physical fitness is a hard choice” is not as direct as struggling with self - discipline in prioritizing workouts. So the internal barrier is struggling to have self - discipline.

Answer:

struggling to have self - discipline
